Directions
- In a large pot on high heat, sauté the onions in oil until the onions lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Once the onions are lightly golden, add the garlic and leek. Sauté until the leeks soften, about 2 minutes. Add splashes of water as needed to deglaze the pan.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are cooked, about 20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend some of the soup but allow some chunks to remain. Alternatively, use a standing blender, in which case blending about half of the soup is recommended.
- Taste test, add more pepper if desired, plate, garnish, and serve while hot.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Really tasty soup, I accidentally used curry powder that was too spicy for me so beware haha!
I added some vegan soy cooking cream that doused the fire :)
It is also pretty good served chilled. I agree that it can be a great base for varying the herbs. My first attempt resulted in cutting the veggies too small and over blending. So, I nuked and added some sweet potato chunks that were perfect for spooning.
Absolutely amazing! Such delicious flavors.
I love soup and eat it any time of year, even in summer. I just made this and it was so good - I just had to add a little more of the herbs and it was super satisfying :) I've made a few of the recipes from your site already and was never disappointed - thank you Sadia :)
This was a perfect, easy soup. I doubled all of the spices because i like big flavors and ate along with some sourdough bread. The flavors only got better when eating the leftovers! I prefer a smooth soup so I went ahead and blended it to a purée. This was a great first recipe for me to try off your site, and I'm making another one tonight (stuffed bell peps). Cheers
A very warming & delicious soup, but still quite easy to make. I really enjoyed it.
My absolute favourite soup 🤗 Thank you Sadia for this amazing recepie ♥️ I have made it on several occasions, my friends and family also loved it. Even good for babies ☺️
This was so yummy, thanks for this recipe!
